4. LET'S RETURN THE SHOPPING BAG BUILDING TO
ITS ORIGINAL USE!
We have spoken with numerous people who would love
to the see the Shopping Bag building (currently One Day Paint & Body)
restored and returned to its original use as a market -- namely, a high-quality
organic foods store. There has been
tremendous support for a Whole Foods Market, or something similar. TERA e.letter reader Jeff Maddock found that
there are two ways to request a Whole Foods store to be located in a given
city:
1. Call Pat Gilhooly at 310-451-8171
and/or
2. Go to http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com and click onto the "contact us"
section; find the "suggest a store" link and send off your
suggestion.
Jeff has already sent
one requesting they consider Eagle Rock.
He bets residents of West Pasadena (San Rafael Hills/Linda Vista) would
also frequent a store location in Eagle Rock, just like they do our Trader
Joe's, and we agree. Contact Whole
Foods via the above means, and let them know you want them here in Eagle Rock!

7. WTC/PENTAGON DISASTER -- ANOTHER
VIEWPOINT
This letter and ensuing
article were submitted by TERA e.letter reader Anne Richardson-Daniel:
The following was sent
to me by Tamim Ansary. Tamim is an Afghani-American writer. He is also one of the most brilliant people
I know in this life. When he writes, I
read. When he talks, I listen. Here is his take on Afghanistan and the
whole mess we are in.
-- Gary T.
Dear Gary and whoever
else is on this email thread:
I've been hearing a lot
of talk about "bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age." Ronn
Owens, on KGO Talk Radio today, allowed that this would mean killing innocent
people, people who had nothing to do with this atrocity, but "we're at
war, we have to accept collateral damage. What else can we do?" Minutes later I heard some TV pundit
discussing whether we "have the belly to do what must be done."
And I thought about the
issues being raised especially hard because I am from Afghanistan, and even
though I've lived here for 35 years I've never lost track of what's going on
there. So I want to tell anyone who will listen how it all looks from where I'm
standing. I speak as one who hates the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden. There is no
doubt in my mind that these people were responsible for the atrocity in New
York. I agree that something must be done about those monsters.
But the Taliban and Ben
Laden are not Afghanistan. They're not
even the government of Afghanistan. The
Taliban are a cult of ignorant psychotics who took over Afghanistan in 1997.
Bin Laden is a political criminal with a plan.
When you think Taliban, think Nazis. When you think Bin Laden, think
Hitler. And when you think "the people of Afghanistan" think
"the Jews in the concentration camps." It's not only that the Afghan people had nothing to do with this
atrocity.
They were the first
victims of the perpetrators. They would exult if someone would come in there,
take out the Taliban and clear out the rats nest of international thugs holed
up in their country.
Some say, why don't the
Afghans rise up and overthrow the Taliban? The answer is, they're starved,
exhausted, hurt, incapacitated, suffering.
A few years ago, the
United Nations estimated that there are 500,000 disabled orphans in
Afghanistan--a country with no economy, no food.
There are millions of
widows. And the Taliban has been
burying these widows alive in mass graves.
The soil is littered with land mines, the farms were all destroyed by
the Soviets. These are a few of the
reasons why the Afghan people have not overthrown the Taliban.
We come now to the
question of bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age. Trouble is, that's been
done. The Soviets took care of it already. Make the Afghans suffer? They're
already suffering. Level their houses? Done. Turn their schools into piles of
rubble? Done. Eradicate their
hospitals? Done. Destroy their
infrastructure? Cut them off from medicine and health care? Too late. Someone already did all that.
New bombs would only
stir the rubble of earlier bombs. Would
they at least get the Taliban? Not likely. In today's Afghanistan, only the
Taliban eat, only they have the means to move around. They'd slip away and hide. Maybe the bombs would get some of
those disabled orphans, they don't move too fast, they don't even have
wheelchairs. But flying over Kabul and dropping bombs wouldn't really be a
strike against the criminals who did this horrific thing. Actually it would
only be making common cause with the Taliban--by raping once again the people
they've been raping all this time
So what else is there?
What can be done, then? Let me now speak with true fear and trembling. The only
way to get Bin Laden is to go in there with ground troops. When people speak of
"having the belly to do what needs to be done" they're thinking in
terms of having the belly to kill as many as needed. Having the belly to overcome any moral qualms about killing
innocent people. Let's pull our heads out of the sand. What's actually on the
table is Americans dying. And not just because some Americans would die
fighting their way through Afghanistan to Bin Laden's hideout.
It's much bigger than
that folks. Because to get any troops to Afghanistan, we'd have to go through
Pakistan. Would they let us? Not likely. The conquest of Pakistan would have to
be first. Will other Muslim nations
just stand by? You see where I'm going. We're flirting with a world war between
Islam and the West.
And guess what: that's
Bin Laden's program. That's exactly what he wants.
That's why he did
this. Read his speeches and statements.
It's all right there. He really believes Islam would beat the west. It might
seem ridiculous, but he figures if he can polarize the world into Islam and the
West, he's got a billion soldiers. If
the west wreaks a holocaust in those lands, that's a billion people with nothing
left to lose, that's even better from Bin Laden's point of view. He's probably wrong, in the end the west
would win, whatever that would mean, but the war would last for years and
millions would die, not just theirs but ours.
Who has the belly for that? Bin
Laden does. Anyone else?
-- Tamim Ansary

8. COMMENT ON MIAMI HERALD EDITORIAL
This comment in from
Bungalow Heaven resident and friend Jim Galloway:
Dear Friends: I am
forwarding an editorial comment by Leonard Pitts in the Miami Herald. Hopefully
it will come through.
The only thing I take
issue with is that yes they are '..monsters,..beasts,..unspeakable bastards,'
however, it seems to me they are far from cowards. To sacrifice ones life for a
belief, however wrong they my be, is not an act of cowardice. The British probably
looked on the patriots during the Revolutionary War, who hid behind hedgerows
and attacked from that cover, as cowards. Most battles to that point were waged
with something like the Marquis of Queensbury rules. Lines of solders lined up
firing at each other until one side no longer could or would fight.
I am, most assuredly in
no way suggesting moral equivalency of those who carried out this act of evil,
with the aforementioned patriots.
Cowardice was demonstrated in the Oklahoma City bombing. Whatever. Pitts
expressed my feeling far more eloquently than I possibly could. I am very
often, still on the verge of tears out of rage as well as sadness not to
mention a state of shock.
Thank you for letting
me offer my thoughts about this tragic/evil act. I feel certain you all share
to some degree my depth of outrage. I believe life will not continue as it has
for us for a very long time, if ever in our lifetimes (certainly not for an old
duffer like me). Medicare, Social Security, the 'Surplus,' don't seem quite so
important as last week.
If you are able, please
fly the Stars and Stripes. One of the coolest remarks I have heard was that so
far there has been no run on the banks, only a run on flags. Yours most sincerely --
----------
9. MOHANDAS K. GANDHI'S THOUGHTS ON
NONVIOLENCE
1) Nonviolence is the
law of the human race and is infinitely greater than and superior to brute
force.
2) In the last resort
it does not avail to those who do not possess a living faith in the God of
Love.
3) Nonviolence affords
the fullest protection to one's self-respect and sense of honor, but not always
to possession of land or movable property, though its habitual practice does
prove a better bulwark than the possession of armed men to defend them. Nonviolence,
in the very nature of things, is of no assistance in the defense of ill-gotten
gains and immoral acts.
4) Individuals or
nations who would practice nonviolence must be prepared to sacrifice (nations
to the last man) their all except honor. It is, therefore, inconsistent with
the possession of other people's countries, i.e., modern imperialism, which is
frankly based on force for its defense.
5) Nonviolence is a power which can be wielded
equally by all-children, young men and women or grown-up people, provided they
have a living faith in the God of Love and have therefore equal love for all
mankind. When nonviolence is accepted as the law of life it must pervade the
whole being and not be applied to isolated acts.
6) It is a profound
error to suppose that whilst the law is good enough for individuals it is not
for masses of mankind.

10. EAGLE ROCK HISTORICAL BANNERS
This in from Linda
Allen, chair, Eagle Rock Community Preservation and Revitalization (ERCPR)
coalition:
The Eagle Rock
Community Preservation and Revitalization Corporation would like to thank
Council member Nick Pacheco for the sponsorship of the newly installed
historical street banners along Colorado Boulevard. The ERCPR had initially begun the project through a Neighborhood
Matching Fund Grant to promote the identity of the community and beautify the
boulevard.
In order to get the banners up as soon as possible
for the Eagle Rock 90th Anniversary Celebration on October 27, Council member
Pacheco collaborated with the ERCPR and offered to pay for all of them. The Eagle Rock Valley Historical Society's
curator, Eric Warren, found this wonderful vintage graphic, and the Historical
Society supplied it for use in the project.
Thanks to Candace Allen-Metzger for her graphics
ability, Ann Richardson-Daniel for also helping to expedite the process, Linda
Herbert, Field Deputy, and most of all, Council member Pacheco for helping us
get them up on the boulevard! And we still
have our original NMF grant for another project!

11. DAVID HOCKNEY AT MOCA -- THROUGH OCTOBER
21
David Hockney
Retrospective: Photoworks is on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)
at California Plaza, downtown Los Angeles, now through October 21. More well-known for his colorfully intriguing
paintings, Hockney has produced since the 1960s a very impressive array of
photo-collage works. This exhibit
displays primarily these photoworks, as well as some drawings and
paintings. The exhibition's flier
states:
Drawn from sources as
diverse as Chinese landscape painting, Cubism, and Futurism, the artist's
influences contribute to an examination of pictorial perception, reality, and
spatial relationships. These classical
themes, together with his manipulation of them through modern technology, lend
virtuosity to his picture-making.
It is an inspiring
exhibit and well worth a look.

12. TOROS POTTERY -- A GREAT NEW BUSINESS ON

13. BELOVED LOST DOG
My wife and I have just
moved into the area and one of our dogs got out yesterday morning
(9/19/01). Her name is Hilde and she is
a small German Shepherd weighing 35 lbs.
Her coat is mostly gray, with long hair. She has a black snout and a bushy, turned-up tail.
She's spayed, very
friendly (she loves to jump up and give kisses), and is wearing a black nylon
collar. She was last seen on Ave 42
near Banbury Place. I'm willing to
compensate anyone who may have taken her in.
My phone number is (323) 255-2669, and my work number is (714) 995-8111
ext. 212.
Please, if anyone has
seen her or heard about her, then I'm anxious to hear from you. I'm a blubbering idiot without her, it turns
out.

14. LETTERS AND E.MAILS
"Dear LA Times
Magazine Editors:
As an Eagle Rocker of
long standing, I am thrilled that Dave Gardetta put our community in the public
eye and highlighted recent achievements of prominent activists and
entrepreneurs [LA Times Magazine, 7/29/01]. But I must disagree with his assessment that we are indebted to
nouveau Silver Lake immigrants for our 'progress' and that our local business
district is full of Mayberry 'Goobers.'
Sure, there are those
who cling stubbornly to the past and see any change as 'threatening.' And a few may feel that remaking our
business district into a franchise haven is a great idea. But most of us passionately embrace and
cherish this utterly odd and eclectic neighborhood as 'LA's home town.' We're feisty, independent and don't tell US
what to do, dammit! Case in point: since Dave's withering assessment of the
Bricks restaurant appeared, Lupe's business has flourished.
Change is
inevitable. But there is no way that
this town's character can ever be eradicated -- it so far has endured a
century-long evolution from farmland to incorporated city, to a neglected part
of LA that is finally waking up from its long slumber. Yes, we've got artists and movie people
moving here because of relatively cheaper real estate (for now). But we are confident that it will never be
like anywhere else.
While we've gotten a
few new places to buy good coffee, it's still more blue collar, biker and 'Twin
Peaks' than trendy here. I'd love to
see a more balanced business mix, but Westside we ain't! This is still a human-scale community: you
have to get out of your car, leave your cocoon and actually talk to people
here. How many Angelenos personally
know their neighbors or the manager at their local grocery stores? How many communities connect via a weekly
e-newsletter or operate its own cultural center? Include one of the nation's best private colleges, Occidental, as
a neighbor? Have an eclectic home
tour? Home-grown activists planting and
improving public spaces?
Here are a few examples
of Eagle Rock character that I have enjoyed: the multi-generational sing-alongs
at Colombo's, where politicos, construction workers, ex-bikers and gays rub
elbows peacefully; the Catch-All V, where you can peruse a tiny shop
overstuffed with trash and treasures on Fridays; the community-bonding events
like the Eagle Rock Music Festival, Concerts in the Park and the Eclectic Eagle
Rock Home Tour; live rockabilly and punk at the All-Star Lanes; Cafe Beaujolais
and the Boulangerie, run and staffed by authentic French folk; and Casa Bianca,
which baffles me for its four-decade rep as one of LA's great pizza
joints. We're also blessed with the innovative,
socially conscious Occidental College and two [or more] great elementary
schools that defy the bad reputation of the LAUSD.
The business district
is one part of who we are, but is hardly our whole character. As a lifelong resident, Dave needs to get
out more!"
-- Mary Tokita, Chair
of Community Gardens for The Collaborative Eagle Rock Beautiful, Eclectic Eagle
Rock Home Tour Committee member, and new TERA Board member [Mary's letter was
not printed in the Times]
"Letters, Los
Angeles Times Magazine --
I read your July 29
lead article on Eagle Rock with interest.
I'm a relatively new resident of Eagle Rock. I met, and subsequently married, a woman who has lived and taught
in Eagle Rock for more than a dozen years.
As we looked for a home
for our family, I found the idea of a geographically self-contained community
immensely appealing. Here, we can walk
or drive down the street and see people we know in the neighborhood, or whom we
meet at the grocery store. Here, we can
be in a community of people who, for the most part, have made a monetary
investment in their own homes, and are owners, not renters. [We actually have a lot of renters.] Here is a community in which multiple
generations of a family can live with joy.
Here is a place in which many ethnicities can get along, held together
by the sense of community which is created, in part, by Eagle Rock's geography.
While Eagle Rock may
have a superfluity of car repair businesses and beauty and nail salons, most of
them are owned by people who live in this community, and who wanted to see if
they could find their part of the American dream without having to go a long
way from home. Good marketing, it may
not be; but all of this has allowed a sense of community and 'place' to
generate and flourish.
So I approach the
influx of the 'hip' and 'trendy' with mixed feelings. As a property owner, I welcome demand that will increase the
market value of my home. But I'm old
enough to remember some other L.A. area communities which once were considered
to be 'hip,' but are no longer as the mantle of 'trendy' has moved
elsewhere. I can recall when places
like McArthur Park, Hollywood and West Hollywood, West Adams, and Studio City
were considered 'hip' places to live.
Look at them now: what's left when those who need to define themselves by
other's definition of 'trendy' move on?
What does 'hip-ness' do to a community which somehow managed to muddle
along on its own before the self-defined 'beautiful people' came and left?
Trendiness is a
two-edged sword. I don't blame some of
the residents and merchants of Eagle Rock for not being overly thrilled at the
influx from Los Feliz."
-- Thomas H. Griffith,
relatively new Eagle Rock resident [Tom's letter also was not printed in the Times]
"I have been very
interested in the new things coming to Eagle Rock, and have awaited each new
grand opening with baited breath!
Since I moved to Eagle
Rock from Burbank in '92 I had envisioned coffee houses and book stores and the
like. I could never understand why, with Oxy right here, nobody had done these
things!
You have really done
such great work, and deserve applause, along with the brave people who have
opened all the new wonderful businesses. I went to Swork on the day it opened,
and you could see that people were really hungry for something to do around
here, and no, getting coffee at 7/11 is not, as some have suggested, quite the
same!!
I work in Eagle Rock
and hear ALL kinds of opinions expressed all day, some of them downright
frightening, and I realize it IS an uphill battle, but the tide had already
turned, and the future for Eagle Rock looks very bright, thanks to you, TERA,
Aude and Kim, Patricia Neal and her team, Oxy Cafe (the HUGEST and most AMAZING
sandwiches in town!!) and many others.
It should also be noted
that the movers and shakers in town have shown a great deal of CLASS and
civility, unlike those who would have Eagle Rock become the hubcap and
dented-canned-goods capital of the world!
When is Eric Fred, or
is it Fred Eric [the latter] going to get to work on that theatre?? [Soon,
we'll let you know.]"
